Project SEARCH® is an internship program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their last year of school eligibility. Students are immersed in a business environment five days a week, where they learn a variety of job skills during three 10-week internship rotations. Students also learn employability skills through classroom training. The Green Bay student site started in 2015, and serves eight students per school year.
Initiated at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in 1996 as a way to fill high-turnover positions, while, at the same time, helping young people with disabilities prepare for adult life, Project SEARCH® has since grown to 715 host sites in 48 states and 11 countries. The Project SEARCH Student site is located in Green Bay, Wisconsin at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital and Bellin Health.
Project SEARCH works in collaboration with the Department of Workforce Development/Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Aspiro, CESA 8, Family Care, Iris consulting agencies, school districts and our host businesses: HSHS St. Vincent Hospital and Bellin Health<
